Ministry is like chocolate...

My prayer:

God, THANK YOU. Sitting here tonight and thinking about all of the amazing things you have done. Even more than that, thinking about how amazing you are. I have the answer to any problem because I have you. There is nothing that can happen in my life or in the life of anyone that I care about that I can't bring to you and be confident that you will show us the way. That is so amazing and awesome and wonderful and every other good word I can think of. 

It seems so simple but sometimes, like tonight, it hits me how amazing you are and how undeserved I am. You are with me always and I sometimes take that for granted. I take for granted that I can bring everything to you and pray over everything. But sometimes, I remember that it wasn't always this way and that the fact that I get to talk and listen to you at all is a miracle. 

I love you God. Thank you for being you and thank you for loving me.

What God Said Tonight:

All that you do, all that you do for the Kingdom, it is not enough. But don't be discouraged, it will never be enough. You will always have more to do and your work will never be done. Now, I see you picture this large weight of impossible responsibility on your shoulders and I want you to stop that right now. 

The reason your work is never going to be done is because your work is the ministry of the good news and there will never be a day where spreading the good news and loving my people will be complete. No matter how much you tell people about my love and no matter how much you love people, there will always be more. 

This is an exciting truth, not a burden. It is like me telling you that you can never eat all of the chocolate. There will always be more chocolate. Now that doesn't make you feel a weight of responsibility does it? That makes you smile and grateful that you will never run out. It is the same with the work of the Kingdom. 

Be grateful that there is always more, not because you have to do it all but because you know you can never do it all but you can always have more. You can never eat all of the chocolate but you can always have more, when you want it. 

I love you my daughter and I receive your gratitude. Your grateful heart makes me smile.Go and rest. Tomorrow is going to be a great day!

Give like Jesus...

My prayer:

My Father. My thoughts are very scattered tonight and the many individual thoughts are pretty random without much meaning. I was concentrating so hard on the task at hand today that now that I have stopped my mind is jumping around like a bunny on my favorite running trail. I bet if I would have taken a nice long run tonight, I would not be so scattered, but I didn't.

One thing I want to be sure to thank you for is for providing me with the opportunity to be a crazy blessing to some people this week. They probably think that I blessed them but it was such a HUGE blessing to be able to help. That old saying of yours that it is better to give than receive is SO TRUE!!

I pray and hope God that you continue to show me the opportunities to bless and be a blessing. It is definitely one of my MOST FAVORITE things in this life!

Ok, enough of my rambling. Let me get quiet so you can talk.

What God Said Tonight:

I want you to shock people with your generosity. That is part of the purpose of this season. I want your generosity be so startling that people are stopped and stunned out of their complacency. 

I want them to see that all things are possible for those who love me. I want them to see that living in me means being willing to give anything. I gave my life. There is nothing I will withhold from those I love and I want to see you walk in that too. 

I will provide. I always provide. But don't get stingy. Give as I would give if I were still walking on this earth. Make people stop and take notice.

A prayer for God...

My prayer:

You bless my socks off God!! I ask for more time and you give me more time! I ask for help and you give me help! I ask for peace and you give me peace! You are so crazy generous God!!

Tonight I want to ask for something for you. I am not sure what to ask for the God of the Universe. But, you are always telling me that the thing that you think about most, the thing that hurts your heart is that there are so many of your kids that have not chosen you yet. 

So, tonight, my prayer is for you God. I pray that there be an abundance of new believers that come to choose and trust you, tonight. I ask for a great harvest of your people that will spark a tremendous celebration in heaven that has never been seen before. 

You know your kids God and you know what will move their hearts. I pray that you move their hearts tonight for a flood of new brothers and sisters in Christ.

Thank you God!!!

What God Said Tonight:

I...Thank you. Amen

Worry free...

My prayer:

Talk to me awesome God and let me hear your thoughts, plans, and goals. I just want to listen to you until you have said all that you want to say...

What God Said Tonight:

You could be here for a very long time if you were to listen to everything I have to say. I am the God all mighty and my Spirit is continually renewed. I am a fountain that will never run dry. I am joy everlasting. I am peace beyond understanding. And most of all I am your Father. 

I adore you. I have great plans for you. But you know that. We have talked all about that before. 

What I am not sure that you understand is that my love is truly all that matters. Because you are loved by me, you will have the desires of your heart. You will never lack for any good thing. You will be, now and forever, cared for by me. You will be protected by me. You will be promoted because of me. 

You need never worry another day of your life because I am yours and you are mine. Live with the confidence of my grace and mercy all of you. 

Battle on...

My prayer:

Amazing Jehovah Jireh. You are my provider and I am so grateful for how you have blessed me and made it possible for me to bless other people. 

There is no greater experience in the world than to see a great burden lifted from someone. Whether that is physical healing, emotional healing, letting go of past hurt/offences, financial burden, addiction, or salvation. I simply love to watch how that burden, that weight is lifted from them through your power and your provision God. 

You provide everything we need. Thanks for letting me be a part of your plan and your purpose. Being saved alone would be great but I get to be a part of what you are doing, on the front lines of this war, and I LOVE IT!!! You are wonderful and my everything God.

What God Said Tonight:

The battle is on but the war is far from over. I love you and love your willingness to jump in. 

The enemy in this war does not think that my people will be able to stand. He does not believe that you will be strong in adversity. He does not believe that when the chips are down and when the forces of darkness are against you that you will still love me. That you will still believe in my word and my promises. He does not think that you will stay faithful. 

He has a big surprise coming. You have the Spirit of the living God in you and you cannot be defeated. You cannot be beaten. You are steadfast and faithful and you will see great things, great victories throughout your life. This war will be a series of great disappointments for the enemy and a series of great victories for us. 

It will never be easy but it will always be worth the victory. I love you daughter and battle on. 

Crossroads...

My prayer:

Amazing Father. It seems like so many people are at a major crossroads in their lives today. So many people that I love, are waiting on you for something big, something vital, something essential to them continuing to go forward on the path you have laid out or, in some cases, to even survive. 

This is serious God. We are not "playing" at religion. We need you, right now, right here. We need you to show us the way to go. We need you to provide where there is no provision. We need you God, more than ever. 

We are all standing on our faith. We are all standing on our belief and trust that you will take care of us. It is hard sometimes, but we are doing it. 

God, I ask tonight that you give each of these people who are in this situation tonight a very personal and very real sign of encouragement. Let us know you are still here, working on our behalf and it will all be ok. We know that it will be in our hearts, but sometimes when things get desperate, our heads get in the way. 

Thank you God for encouraging us and for always coming through for us.

What God Said Tonight:

I am here and I have never left. I have good plans and I will see them accomplished. It may not turn out how you think you wanted it but I promise you my best. I promise you that as long as you are looking to me, I will make sure you have my best. 

We are at a crossroads. We are at a critical juncture and my people will have to have courage to get through. This is a time that will separate those who are serious and those who are tagging along. I need an army, not an audience. 

I love you my little soldier. We will do great things and you will have my best.

God's hurting heart...

My prayer:

My God it is good to be with you here tonight. It seems like today was about a week long and I am simply grateful that I made it through and get to spend the end of it with you. 

Thank you for the blessing of all the new people you brought into my life tonight. I am pretty excited what you are going to do with this group. They are definitely on fire for you. 

But, enough of me. I want to listen, not talk tonight. What is on your heart and Spirit tonight God?

What God Said Tonight:

My Spirit is at peace. 

My heart hurts. A part of my heart will always hurt for the children I will lose. Satan is stealing children from me every day and it hurts my heart. I love them so much. 

I have given them choice and that is an important part of the whole process but it tears my heart in two when one of my children, decides to walk away from me and into satan's traps. My heart breaks for my lost and dying children. 

Please love them for me. Love them so they know they are loved. They can't hear that from me right now and love will keep them alive. As long as they are alive, they have a chance to choose me.
